Night Terrors & Zoomies: 3AM Conjurations
Yowlus Midnightus Operus
Incantation
The house is quiet.
That is a problem.
I have brought my small toy.
I have prepared a song.
AAAOOOOWWW.
- Crime
- Sings loudly in the hallway at midnight, often with a toy.
- Casting time
- Midnight, sharp
- Mana cost
- 1 quiet house, 1 toy mouse, and a full voice warm-up
Every household has seen it at least once: our tiny wizard cat, singing loudly at midnight in the hallway holding a toy mouse, music notes everywhere. Casting time: midnight, sharp.
The house is quiet, which is a problem. They brought their mouse and their best opera. The mana bill arrives right on schedule: 1 quiet house, 1 toy mouse, and a full voice warm-up.
The cat considers this a total success and takes a celebratory nap.
Counter-spell
1. Keep a steady routine for meals, play and bedtime.
2. Try not to reward yowling with food or attention.
3. Extra play and enrichment during the day can quiet the evening opera.
4. A sudden increase in vocalizing, especially in older cats, is worth a vet visit.
